How She Could Sing The Wildwood Flower - Emmylou Harris


We all cling to,
as the years keep rolling on,
one single promise
of a love that's past and gone
And that lonesome valley
we all walk it by ourselves
while the wildwood flower
is the story we all tell

Mother Earth - Memphis Slim


Don't care how big you are, I don't care what you're worth
When it all ends up you got to go back to mother earth

3 Mustaphas 3 is a British World music band formed in 1982. Core members are Ben Mandelson (under the name Hijaz Mustapha), Tim Fienburgh (1954–2008) (under the name Niaveti III) Colin Bass (under the name Sabah Habas Mustapha), and Nigel Watson (under the name Houzam Mustapha), around which orbit many other Mustaphas – all supposed to be the nephews of Uncle Patrel Mustapha. They claim to originate from the Balkans, but play music from almost every continent; their slogan, "Forward in all directions!", is an expression of this musical diversity. Active at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, they have now stopped producing and performing together, but haven't officially disbanded.

Liner notes from their albums would have it that the band was created in a Balkan town called Szegerely, where it played at the Crazy Loquat Club, before the members were transported inside refrigerators to England. [...]

With tracks ranging from a Country song in Japanese to a Mexican traditional sung in Hindi, and going through a mix of Irish, Scottish, Greek, Albanian, Klezmer and many more styles, the Mustaphas had broken the last barriers separating ethnic music styles. [...]
The Mustaphas had also been assisted on occasions by Lavra Tima Daviz on vocals and Expen$ive on trumpet, while guests Israeli singer Ofra Haza, and kora players Dembo Konte and Kausu Kuyateh from Gambia and Senegal respectively have played alongside them in the 80s. [...]

During the height of their fame, the 3 Mustaphas 3 invited audiences to bring ripe cheeses to concerts, which the Mustaphas would attempt to identify on stage. An onstage refrigerator holding fresh fruit which could be offered to the audience was an essential item demanded by the band from any serious concert promoter. Indeed, the fridge itself was a revered item for the Mustapha family (as it keeps food fresh) hence the cry often heard in intense moments of performance: "Can we take it to the fridge? Let me take it to the fridge!" :D

Si Vous Passez Pas La - 3 Mustaphas 3 a.k.a. The Young Mustaphas (Roundhouse 22/1/10)

On 22nd January 2010 more than 30 singers, musicians and dancers came together at the Roundhouse, London to celebrate 30 years of fRoots magazine.
For one night and one song only, for the first time in two decades, six members of those very legendary godfathers of world music, the 3 Mustaphas 3, rematerialised: Chopper, Daoudi, Hijaz, Kemel, Oussack & Uncle.

In 2009, together with Justin Adams,
[3 Mustaphas 3 members] Mandelson and Edmonds formed the band Les Triaboliques and released their debut album Rivermudtwilight.

Gulaguajira (I, the dissolute prisoner) - Les Triaboliques


A meeting of minds and a natural collaboration, Les Triaboliques consist of three British musicians who play all manner of plucked instruments and who have long experiences in other cultures, but who also have a shared start in punk. With a lengthy history together, Lu Edmonds and Ben Mandelson are both veterans of 3 Mustaphas 3, whose work in the '80s and '90s anticipated the more recent mash-up of national musical styles. Mandelson got his start in Magazine, while Edmonds' first real gig was in the Damned. Since then they've both enjoyed winding paths that have taken in the Mekons, Shriekback, Tuvan throat singing, and world music production until they came together again as members of Billy Bragg's band. Justin Adams first emerged playing with Jah Wobble, and his résumé also includes Sinéad O'Connor and Robert Plant, producing Lo'Jo and Tinariwen, as well as his own work.
